How to Leverage Bundles for Email List Growth
Whether you host your own bundle or contribute to a bundle, you will see significant email list growth. Bundles are a great way to collaborate with other entrepreneurs who serve the same or similar audience as you. They get you in front of more of your ideal clients and allow you to expand your network. As mompreneurs, we have to prioritize email list growth. Growing and monetizing your email list is a low energy strategy for mompreneurs. It gives you the time freedom you need as a mama running a business with little ones at home. Before you contribute to your first bundle, there are some things you want to do to ensure you have the most success in growing your email list.
Bundles for Email List Growth: 3 Things to Do BEFORE Applying for Your First Bundle
Validate the Resource You’re Planning to Contribute to the Bundle
The first rule about bundles is that the resource you contribute must be of high value and is either a paid offer or isn’t a freebie. If you want to see significant email list growth, you must validate the resource you’re planning to contribute. Now, if you are contributing something that you currently offer as a paid resource and you know it’s something that your target audience truly wants, then you’re good to go. If you are creating a new resource, you want to do some market research and validate it to ensure it’s something your target audience wants and needs.

Make Sure Your Resource Funnels into a Specific Offer
You will see conversions from bundle collaborations when the resource you contribute is tied to the offer you want to convert your new subscribers into. The easiest way to do this is to start with the end in mind. What offer or program do you want to sell to these new subscribers? Start there and then decide on what will be the best resource to contribute to a bundle.
Set Up an Email Funnel for Your Bundle Contribution (not just a Welcome Email)
One mistake many business owners make when they collaborate in bundles is not setting up a welcome sequence. When someone joins your email list, it is a huge deal because they are your warmest leads. So, you want to lay out the red carpet for them when they join your email community. A welcome sequence or nurture sequence allows you to do just that. Over the span of 7-8 days (more if you want), you will send out a series of emails to your new subscribers. These emails serve a few purposes. They give your subscribers an introduction to you, establish your expertise, give lots of free value, and introduce them to your offer.
You don’t want to skip the welcome sequence because it begins the nurturing process. Not everyone will convert into your offer while going through the welcome sequence. However, it does create offer awareness. Offer awareness will put you at the top of your subscribers’ minds when they need your services in the future.
Bundles are Effective for Email List Growth When Leveraged Correctly
Participating in bundles can help you boost your email list growth when backed with strategy. It’s important to have a clear plan when participating in bundles. You want to be intentional and do the work before you start applying for bundles. This will ensure that you are contributing resources that will actually support with email list growth.
